PHILADELPHIA – Twistee Treat, the iconic ice cream shop housed in a 27-foot-tall cone-shaped building, is on the market just in time for summer. Situated on Longshore Avenue in Northeast Philadelphia, the distinctive manila-colored cone topped with swirling pink ice cream can now be yours for $150,000.
Owner Mohammed Nasher is looking for a suitable buyer, ideally someone from the local community who can continue the business’s legacy. “It’s always busy – especially on the weekends. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, we’re open until 9, but people come until 9 or 9:30,” Nasher told FOX 29.
Twistee Treat’s lease has three years remaining, with an option for a fifth year, and the rent is competitively priced. Nasher, who also owns two car dealerships and a mechanic’s shop in Philadelphia, explained that his decision to sell is driven by a desire to focus on his other ventures. “If I don’t find a buyer, I’ll keep it, it’s not the end of the world,” Nasher said. “I figured if I can give this to somebody else who is going to run it and they’ve gotta make sure they put in the time and effort.”
The sale of Twistee Treat offers a unique opportunity for a dedicated entrepreneur to take over a beloved local business with a steady customer base and a prominent, eye-catching location.
For those interested in continuing the tradition of serving ice cream from one of Philadelphia’s most recognizable buildings, now is the perfect time to step in and ensure that Twistee Treat remains a community favorite for years to come.
